San Francisco, CA – October, 2018 — A system-neutral campaign setting for tabletop fantasy role-playing games. Ruin & Conquest is a unique and evocative campaign setting that can be played with any fantasy role-playing game
A post-apocalyptic low fantasy setting for tabletop RPGs. It is a world embroiled in constant endemic warfare, with raiders attacking from the sea while the native people fight amongst themselves. Great beasts roam the dark forests, drunken fauns dancing in the moonlight around the world trees, ancient demons that consume the dead destroying a spirit for eternity. This is a world full of rumor, myth and folklore. Where magic is dangerous, the dead walk the night, and every shadow could hide a treasure or a curse (usually both).
Ruin & Conquest aims first and foremost to be a toolbox for players and game masters to expand and enrich their tabletop role-playing. It introduces you to the world of Ealand, an island ablaze with conflict, tearing itself apart in the decaying shadow of its once great cultures. Foes set foot upon its shores almost daily, while the land, its people and its gods lash out with the fury of a cornered animal. Within this cauldron of strife, Ealand is a fertile soil for adventure. Where there is death, there is opportunity. Where there is pain, there is profit. Where the fathers cower and the mothers wail, there is room for legends to be born.
